What is Kefir with cucumber?
Kefir with cucumber combines kefir—a fermented milk drink associated with the Caucasus—with grated or finely chopped cucumber. It is usually served cold, and can be made simply at home for a savoury, refreshing drink rather than a sweet smoothie.
The tangy kefir and cool cucumber work well alongside lunch or dinner, or as a light drink on a warm day. In Turkey, where kefir is readily enjoyed, it can also be a refreshing alternative to sweeter drinks between meals. It provides some protein as well as the character of a fermented dairy drink. Try it with fresh mint or dill, and go easy on added salt if you want to keep the flavour bright and light.
